APR develops high performance computing tools including the FORGE Family of
Fortran Parallelization/Analysis tools. Documentation and downloadable
evaluation copies of their software products are available.

Developers of general purpose CFD tool. Also provide information
about the performance of the FIRE linear solver benchmark on
workstations, supercomputers and MPP systems and have a comparison of
the performance of a parallel version of the FIRE code running on
nCUBE against workstations and supercomputers.

Alex Informatics Inc. makes scalable parallel computing systems for
real life business applications. Alex products are scalable, and
use an open systems architecture and hence are used as web servers,
video delivery systems, embedded systems, high performance computers,
as well as in a number of other applications.

CRC POWERvision:
The CRC POWERvision is the latest massively parallel
two-dimensional supercomputer for image processing from
CRC. The POWERvision system contains 4,608 processors per
6-inch card, up to eight cards per system, providing tera-ops
throughput for the price of desktop workstations.

Developed a series of exceptionally robust, efficient iterative
Linear Equation Solvers. Based on an advanced level of mathematics,
the Solvers are applicable to sparse or dense matrices and are
especially effective on very large and highly ill-conditioned
problems. They are developed in Fortran 77 and are available on
serial and parallel computer architectures.

Products include the VPP500 and VPP300 scalable vector-parallel
distributed memory architectures. The VPP300 has 512MB memory per
processor, 2.2GF per processor, full crossbar interconnect between
memories (1.1GB/sec). Also available is the AP1000 which is a
Research & Development architecture, featuring MPP MIMD
architecture, Sparc and vectors processors with up to 512 nodes.
Fujitsu also has products for ATM/SONET telecomms technology.

Information on high-performance three-dimensional computation, including
the ARPA proposal done in partnership with Kendall Square Research for a
real-time volume rendered virtual reality with real-time physical
simulation.

Partnership in Advanced Computing Technologies (PACT), a collaboration between SGS-Thomson Microelectronics and the Science Research Foundation (SRF). SRF is a research organisation that encompasses three local Universities: Bristol, Bath and the West of England. Also known as SRF-PACT.
